thunderbird (SSA:2007-205-01)

New Thunderbird packages are available for Slackware 11.0 and 12.0 to fix two possible security issues. This package may also be used on many older versions of Slackware (though we're not certain how far back...)

Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog:+--------------------------+patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.5-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to thunderbird-2.0.0.5. Since Thunderbird shares the browser engine with Firefox it is susceptible to similar vulnerabilities. This update fixes the same issues fixed in the recent Firefox patch. For more information, see:http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#thunderbird (* Security fix *)+--------------------------+

Where to find the new packages:+-----------------------------+

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP sitefor Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloadingfrom ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hostingto the Slackware project! :-)
